Baby Boomer
Hi, I'm Cheryl - Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that my youngest daughter would choose the path of estrangement. So many emotions have occupied my thoughts and infiltrated my days. Disbelief, anger, hurt, shame, suicide, rejection, physical pain, and, at times, an overwhelming heaviness of grief mixed with guilt. The worst are the feelings of being a "bad" mother and the outrageous accusations of abuse. But the underlying feeling that never stops is...
Generation X
Hi, I'm Lisa - I didn't know what estrangement was until it happened to me. The confusion, pain, and "no contact" were unbearable and often left me depressed, defeated, and questioning everything about myself and my life.
I thought I was a good mom and did a good job. I raised my daughters as a single parent, so I had to face the fact that perhaps I failed at life's most important role, and I had to own that I was solely responsible for...
Millennial
Hi, I'm Aleia, - As a child, I always felt misunderstood and never entirely accepted by the family. I was always desperately trying to fit in, and it also left me with a sense of feeling like I truly never belonged. Unfortunately, this longing often led to misunderstandings, negativity, and being an outsider within my family, ultimately leading to my estrangement. It was easy to focus on why I was mad as estrangement can be isolating and painful, especially when it….
Gen Z
Hi, I'm Jillian - I've been estranged from my mother for half my life. From a young age, I tried to protect my mom from a man who abused her and me, and as I waited for her to leave him and choose me, I realized she was never going to put me first, so I had to choose myself. I was so angry and hurt by her actions and life decisions, and this started eating me alive, and I was becoming someone I no longer wanted to be. After six years of estrangement and no contact, she left me permanently and now...

"The Silent Epidemic"
Estrangement Impacts 72 85 Million Families
In The United States Alone.
When we began this roundtable in September of 2023, the number stood at a staggering 72 million families.
Now, less than a year later, it has surged to 85 million. This means 1 in 4 families in the U.S. alone are affected.
MOST ARE SUFFERING IN SILENCE AND ISOLATION
- The unspoken shame of generational wounding and family trauma can be complicated and difficult to talk about.
- Most who seek professional help are told to "go no contact", focus on themselves, and move on with their lives.
- Most who suffer from the loss and separation of family feel isolated and ashamed without understanding what happened or what to do about it.
All live, free roundtable Zoom events are an intimate intergenerational discussion to help us understand the pain and suffering behind family estrangement, learn how to move forward, and bridge the gap between our differences.
You're Invited To Join The Conversation And Listen To Individuals Who Are Just Like You.
